Rise Of Islam History Details
Mohammed believed the ancient tradition that the Arabs were the other
children of Abraham ― through the line of his son Ishmael by the
Egyptian maidservant Hagar ― and that they had forgotten the teachings
of monotheism they had inherited ages ago. He saw his mission as
bringing them back. Paul Johnson, in his History of the Jews (p. 167), explains:What he [Mohammed] seems to have wished to do was to destroy the polytheistic paganism of the oasis culture by giving the Arabs Jewish ethical monotheism in a language they could understand and in terms adapted to their ways. He accepted the Jewish God and their prophets, the idea of fixed law embodied in scripture ― the Koran being an Arabic substitute for the Bible ― and the addition of an Oral Law applied in religious courts.
